Yes they will be showing the British Lions tour of South Africa as well as the Ashes so I will be keeping up my Dhs87 monthly payments. We also love CSI, Bones, Ghost Whisperer, Survivor and all that stuff. As for comedy, the Simpsons seem to be on more than anything else. Not my cup of tea but good if you like it.

its not HD though, it is pretty good mind you.

Just checked and apparently as my Showtime comes via Du, the only set top box's they do is the one I have (very basic) although they tell me they are planning to launch the 'Recordable Set Top Box' in May and will upgrade all existing customers with these......famous last words...

Aye, Springs is the same as Marina.. Only thru Du, basic box and no HDMI output...

Show Comedy has 2 excellent shows 10pm and 10.30pm.. Daily Show w/ John Stewart and The Colbert Report... They are probably the most reliable way to get political news from the US.....!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Oh, and google John Stewart vs. Jim Cramer.. An excellent match up where he nails the Mad Money host......

Couldn't stand that john guy and then watched it one day and started to like the show, then obviously watched colbert.

Gone off cobert a bit now as his show doesn't have much substance and he just seems to like his own voice.

The daily show wjs is decent enough.


There's golf on tv right now!!!!:thumbup:

Anyone know if the US masters is being covered this week?

Showtime is crap but if you are a football fan there is no choice. I don't know how they justify two comedy channels. My favourite program is Banged up Abroad on Nat Geo Adventure, especially the ones where some ugly bloke is talked into bringing shed loads of coke back from Peru by some stunna and then can't believe that actually he was duped and has to spend 10 years in some shithole prison. Genius.
